KippsDeSanto & Co. Advises Gleason Research Associates on ESOP Transaction
/in Testimonial/by kippsdesanto“KippsDeSanto was a great fit for GRA given their reputation in our market and consultative approach. I was very impressed with their ability to quickly develop an understanding of our products and services and then guide us in presenting the Company to the market. While we initially thought we would complete an outright sale, KippsDeSanto helped us realize that other alternatives such as an ESOP buyout may be a better fit for us. They were very professional and diligent in order to balance schedules, workload, and continued Company success. I cannot imagine someone trying to do this without the expert guidance of KippsDeSanto & Co.”

Pro2Serve
/in Testimonial/by kippsdesanto“It was very important to the founders and the Board that Pro2Serve’s culture be preserved and the benefits of our company’s success be shared with the employees. We initially had reservations about Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) when KippsDeSanto suggested it might be the best option to achieve our shareholder liquidity objectives. After discussing the market and analyzing a myriad of different alternatives, we mutually agreed an ESOP was the best option for the company, our shareholders, and our employees. We hired KippsDeSanto to serve as the financial advisor for Pro2Serve given their deep knowledge of our market and their extensive transaction experience. We have had a long, valuable relationship with KippsDeSanto, and consistently found their team of professionals to be highly dedicated, trustworthy and innovative. KippsDeSanto has a stellar track-record based on a corporate culture that emphasizes integrity, innovation and performance, which is similar to our company. We can highly recommend KippsDeSanto to other firms.”
